Heath Ledger Died - Page 6

I don't know a thing about it but it has a horrible title:

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus

I'm assuming it isn't a sequel to Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium.

I don't know about that, but I do remember Troy McClure in The Fantabulous Contraption of Professor Horatio Hufnagel.

while looking at the copys i can read at the station... like a quarter of the news is on him... even the bulitens.

I can understand some mentions... I do fell sorry for his family for their loss though.

The footage of his body being removed from the apartment building is just wrong. Ugh. The media can be so lame...

I agree GC. I was surprised when my morning news kept showing the body bag, so I changed the channel. I'd rather see a pic of the actor/person, especially in different things they've done. It helps jog my old memory.

Yeah, I was watching this nice slideshow of him and his career highlights by some Sydney newspaper ... and it was marred by the bodybag shot.

Ugh, but I kinda like the irony of something disgusting like that being pervasive in the media when the guy who died had such a prominent issue with mistreatment by the media.

G.C., I can't believe you watched BBM last night. I thought of doing the same, but I couldn't bear to.

Maybe this weekend. I dunno. Too upsetting, Grrrrrr.

I was thinking that if I'm sad already... how much sadder could I get?
I still love this film. Even with all the stereotyping and parodying that happens with it. I mean, some people still love Titanic, right?

Of course, I cried during the third act. Totally. The "asleep on your feet" scene had me bawling... but in a good way. It was a good release.

But after viewing the film, something interesting happened. I got kind of mad at Mr. Ledger for leaving me... us.

Well, IMO, I do not think he did it on purpose. Still, I am very sad, a loss of talent is always sad, and one so young with so much potential.

I hope this puts to bed any notion of anyone doing a sequel to BBM. Bleh. Oliver's Story, anyone?

Y'know, I've still not seen this movie. It's sitting there, on the stack of other movies I've yet to watch.

Was Heath Ledger mistreated by the media? I'm completely unaware of him being covered by the media in any way other than his name attached to this or that film.
